No rain.......no rainbows

I know it has been sometime since I’ve last done some blogging, and for that I apologize. So let’s catch up with the news since the last post.


The world has lost some iconic people the last few weeks. Since the last post we have lost the “king of pop”, a Charlie’s Angel, a pitchman, and a Titan. Rest in Peace All.


Two WBS Pioneers have been arrested for a brawl last night at a local club. Apparently punch some chick in the head helps you win arena football games.


The Pirates visit the city of brotherly love Friday for a weekend set with the Phillies. I think the Phils should put the World Series Trophy on the line so we could have all three major championships, oh wait I forgot the Pirates play for Pittsburgh….Nevermind.


NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Seattle Seahawks coach Jim Mora recently climbed Mount Rainer in Washington State. I don’t know I think that is pretty impressive.


LeBron James got dunked on the other day at his skills camp by Xavier’s Jordan Crawford and Nike confiscated the tapes. I guess the king has been dethroned.


Last Friday I got to experience Kennywood Amusement Park, a legendary park located in western Pa right outside of Pittsburgh. I must say it is a must see place if you have a chance.


And finally……The Video(s) of the Day.

Championships and Shark Pools

It was been a few days since my last post and a lot has happened in the world so here we go….

Unless you live under a rock or you don’t care, the Pittsburgh Penguins won the Cup of Stanley Friday night over the Detroit Red Wings in an amazing game 7. What makes this victory even sweeter is the Pens got to raise the cup in Detroit’s home ice. Below is a video recapping the entire night, enjoy!

It has been known that I may or may not have a dude crush on Coach Dan Bylsma. Let me just take this time to say congrats to Disco and the rest of the coaching staff, you did an amazing job bringing this team from out of playoff contention to having your name engraved on Lord Stanley.


This past Sunday through Tuesday was a historic one; the original four were once again reunited and that means there will be stories. Sunday night started off eventful and I personal thought that would last, I was wrong. After a few IC Lights and some games of cornhole someone got the great idea to drink some homemade wine and do shots of goose. Next thing I know it is 2 am and we are watching season 5 of Entourage.

The next morning sucked; now I hate hangovers like everyone else, but that one just sucked. After we all woke we started to piece together the events from the previous night. My main concern was my lower back felt like I fell 5 feet straight on my back, which is because Corey C. decided it would be a great idea to spear me off the top railing of a deck. After regrouping we decided that floating down the river would be our main objective of the day.

The plan was mapped out, James and I would get the floating fuel and a new floating device while the Corey’s would pick up Doc for a brief lunch at Ruby’s. After some mini burgers and salads were dominated it was on, next stop the river. Now before I go any further I must explain what type of floating device we chose to purchase. We said we would purchase a mini pool because they provide the best floatability, long story short we settled on a pool that looked like an aggressive shark. This was a great choice incase we run into any unruly fellow floaters.

So our adventure began, floating down the mighty Susquehanna only moments on the river we notices some floating particles, after a brief but yet informative discussion we decided it was bass flu. The rest of the trip included a lot of IC Light, jokes about ones sister, and trying to bail the water out of the shark pool. After a 2 ½ hour trip we figured we would make a stop and return some of the floatation devices we used, while doing so we destroyed a watermelon and pillaged some headbands.

We returned back to our place of rest where we had some chicken and continued with more IC, cornhole, and added some golf and cigars. This took place until we decided to go watch more entourage at 4 in the morning. At last we saw the sun come up around 5:45am just as we were turning in the night or day. After getting 3 hours of sleep I decided that at that point in my life I have had enough IC Light and listened to enough Dave Matthews Bands to last me for a few months. So what can I do at 9:00 while everyone else is enjoying their beauty sleep? The only thing any right man would do in my place, watch Major League. After laughing loud enough because I was too tired to sleep and because I was bored watching it alone so they would wake up, they didn’t. Finally everyone wakes up around noon, so we finally finish season 5 of Entourage and grab some cereal at 2 in the afternoon. After that it was time for us to say our goodbyes and move on back to the real world. Good times!

End of an era

Today is a sad day in the WBS Penguins office as our Vice President of Business and Marketing, Katie Connors will be enjoying her last day as a member of our staff. Katie has recently accepted a position with the State College Spikes, who are the Pittsburgh Pirates single-A short season affiliate. Katie has been with the Pens almost since the beginning, all of her hard work over the years has helped this organization grow into what it is today. Katie will be greatly missed, but I will speak for everyone when I say she will do a tremendous job in State College. So good luck Katie, we will all miss you!

There is only one more day till the epic match up between Pittsburgh and Detroit. Of course I’m talking about the Pirates and Tigers. After taking a win lat night over Atlanta, they match up for a mid day matinee before they return home to take on Tigers.


No one told me that the Detroit Red Wings won the Stanley Cup already. Thanks everyone.


Last night at Sno Mountain or Montage Mountain, whatever they call it these days, the old school boy band New Kids on the Block took fans hostage with their vocals and dance moves. The only reason I would ever bring this up is because one of our own was in attendance. Chris Sipsky should get a purple heart for taking his girlfriend to see the show, tip of the cap to you sir.

Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes got his charges for marijuana possession drop yesterday by the district attorney's office. Good thing or he would have had to pay a whopping $300 fine.

VIDEO OF THE DAY:
Last night while ironing clothes I took a brief break and jumped on YouTube to watch Penguins clips and I came across this show this guy from Pittsburgh makes after each game. It’s called Yinz Luv Da’ Guins, it is short but funny nonetheless.

I feel like a proud father at little league

Survival of the fittest, that is what the Penguins did last night with a do or die 2-1 win in game 6 over Detroit last night. When they needed to win they did, when they need a clutch stop they got it, when they needed unsung heroes to step up it happened. The only thing now is what Pittsburgh and Detroit teams will show up for game 7? Momentum doesn’t matter now, how many goals they scored in games 1-6 don’t matter now, the only thing that matters now is Friday night and how each team wants to be remembered. PENS IN 7!

The 6 times, yes 6 time Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers just released the design for their rings. Boy they are shinny.

Pirates lost another 1 run games to the Braves. For those keeping score at home that’s 3 straight losses. Good things the Pens won. Pirates relinquish lead late, take loss (Pirates.com)

A whole lot of stuff going on!

Do or Die for the Pens tonight. Some people may think that is a bit harsh, but that the truth about game 6 tonight. Yea they got beat down 5-0 in at 5 at Detroit, but that was at Detroit, now they are back home. Their backs are up against the way, but that makes them dangerous, they have no reason to hold anything back tonight, and I expect they will. PENS IN 7!

Here is a great video that is a surefire way to get pumped for tonight’s game. Not like you should need to get pumped up, but it is an awesome video.



Pirates lost a marathon to the Braves in 15 innings last night. If they are going to lose just do it in the regular 9-inning fashion instead of keeping us hanging on.

It has been sometime since the last post, I believe it has been since the sweep of the Hurricanes, wow that was awhile ago. It has been a busy few weeks but there will be more post and fresh stuff coming up.

Speaking of baseball, the Major League Draft is today. This draft is the most interesting out of all of the professional sports drafts. The only thing they dont have if coverasge 3 months before it happens and Mel Kiper Jr.

I made a big purchased last night, I purchased a new swimsuit. It’s that time of the year when the weather is hot and you need to cool off, so it just seemed like the right thing to do.

Last Thursday when many hard working people were trying to kick start the economy, some co-workers and I took a bus to watch the Pens in the exciting game 4 win. I bring this up now only because I finally uploaded some pictures from the trip.

Just Another Day At The Office

The Pens swept the Canes off the ice and out of the playoffs and on to the golf course with a 4-1 win in game 5. The Pens brought home the Eastern Conference crown as well as the Prince of Wales trophy which they preceded to put their finger prints all over. Next up: Hopefully a date with Hossa and the Red Wings.


With the clinching win last night Coach Disco Dan Bylsma made hockey history by becoming the first person ever to start a season as an American Hockey League head coach and then guide a National Hockey League team to the Stanley Cup Finals in the same season. Congrats Dan, I saw this coming!


The Bucs lost a rained shortened contest to Central Division foe Chicago Cubs by a score of 6-1 in 6 innings. Lets just say thanks to mother nature that she didn’t let this one continue, it could have got ugly.


These men are installing and setting solid steel pillars in concrete to stop vehicles from parking on the pavement outside a bar. They are cleaning up at the end of the day.
How long do you think it will be before they realize where their vehicle is parked?


The Division II Softball National Champs made it home late Monday night and were honored with some sort of tinker day parade in the street of downtown Lock Haven on Tuesday afternoon.

Game 5 and National Championships

The Lock Haven University Softball Team closed another amazing season by being crowed the NCAA Division II National Champions with an 8-0 win over Alabama-Huntsville.



More details and pictures of the trip will be coming soon, stay tuned. Let’s just say there was a lot of body paint, pre-game superstitions, and a phonebook.



The Pens have a chance tonight to sweep the Canes and move to the finals for Lord Stanley’s Cup…….Make it happen.



Back to work after a long four day mini vacation in beautiful Salem VA. To my dismay Salem VA is not the place of the Salem Witch Trials; I still have a hard time believing this.
